Balderic, Abbot of Montfaucon was a 7th-century Catholic priest who lived in Francia. According to oral traditions recorded centuries later, he and his sister Beuve were likely the children of the Austrasian king Sigebert I, and they were also thought to be related to King Dagobert. He is primarily recognized for establishing the monastery of Montfaucon in Lorraine and for founding the St-Pierre-les-Dames convent in Reims for his sister. During his life, he also served as a mentor to Saint Wandregisel.
